Page #1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ VIVEKACHUDAMANI OP SRI SANKARACHARYA Text, with English Translation, Notes and Index BY SWAMI MADHAVANANDA ADVAITA ASHRAMA MAYAVATI, DT. ALMORA, HIMALAYAS Page #2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ FOREWORD Scarcely any introduction is needed for a book that professes to be, as its title 'Crest-jewel of Discrimination'-shows, a masterpiece on Advaita Vedanta, the cardinal tenet of which is: brahma satyaM jaganmithyA jIvo brahmaiva nAparaH - 'Brahman alone is real, the universe is unreal and the individual soul is no other than the Universal Soul.' Being an original production of Sankara's genius, the book combines with a searching analysis of our experience an authoritativeness and a depth of sincerity that at once carry conviction into the heart of its readers. The whole book is instinct with the prophetic vision of a Seer, a man of Realisation, and the expression, too, is so lucid and poetical that quite a new life has been breathed into the dry bones of philosophical discussion, and that, too, on the most abstruse subject ever known. In preparing this edition, which is a reprint in book-form from the Prabuddha Bharata, the translator gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to the admirable Sanskrit commentary of Swami Kesavacharya of the Munimandal, Kankhal, which along with the Hindi translation would be highly useful to those who want a fuller knowledge of this book. Page #3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (iv) For facility of reference an Index has been added, and the book, it is hoped, will in its present form be a vade-mecum to all students of Advaita Philosophy. Mayavati, 1921. M. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In this edition the book has been generally revised and some improvement has been made as regards printing and other matters. All this, it is hoped, will make the book more acceptable to the public. Mayavati, 1926. http://www.ApniHindi.com Page #4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ VIVEKACHUDAMANI sarvavedAntasiddhAntagocaraM tamagocaram / govindaM paramAnandaM sadguru praNato'smyaham // 1 // I. I bow to Govinda, whose nature is Bliss Supreme, who is the Sadguru,' who can be known only from the import of all Vedanta, and who is beyond the reach of speech and mind. 'Viveka' means discrimination. 'Chuda' is crest, and 'Mani', jewel. Hence the title means 'Crest-jewel of discrimination.' Just as the jewel on the crest of a diadem is the most conspicuous ornament on a person's body, so the present treatise is a masterpiece among works treating of discrimination between the Real and the unreal. In this opening stanza salutation is made to God (Govinda), or to the Guru, in his absolute aspect. It may be interesting to note that the name of Sankara's Guru was Govinda pada, and the Sloka is ingeniously composed so as to admit of both interpretations. 1 Sadgurulit. the highly qualified preceptor, and may refer either to Sankara's own Guru or to God Himself, who is the Guru of Gurus. ] http://www.Apnihindi.com Page #5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 2 VIVEKACHUDAMANI jantUnAM narajanma durlabhamataH puMstvaM tato vipratA tasmAdvaidika dharmamArgaparatA vidvattvamasmAtparam / AtmAnAtmavivecanaM svanubhavo brahmAtmanA saMsthitimuktinoM zatajanmakoTisukRtaiH puNyairvinA labhyate // 2 // 2. For all beings a human birth is difficult to obtain, more so is a male body, rarer than that is Brahminhood, rarer still is the attachment to the path of Vedic religion; higher than this is erudition in the scriptures; discrimination between the Self and not - Self, Realisation, and continuing in a state of identity with Brahman, --these come next in order.

The man who having by some means obtained a human birth, with a male body and mastery of the Vedas to boot, is foolish enough not to exert for self-liberation, verily commits suicide, for he kills himself by clinging to things unreal.

There is no hope of Immortality by means of riches-such indeed is the declaration of the Vedas. Hence it is clear that works cannot be the cause of Liberation.

Work is for the purification of the mind, not for the perception of the Reality. The realisation of Truth is brought about by discrimination and not in the least by ten millions of acts.

Acceptance by firm judgment of the mind as true of what the scriptures and the Guru instruct, is called by the sages Shraddha or faith, by means of which the Reality is perceived.

[1Mere appearances &c.-i.e., they are without any stability and may vanish like the mirage any time.

Among things conducive to Liberation, devotion (Bhakti) alone holds the supreme place. The seeking' after one's real nature is designated as devotion. [1The seeking &c.-This definition is from the Advaita standpoint. Dualists who substitute Isvara, the Supreme Lord, for the Atman or Supreme Self immanent in being, of course define Bhakti otherwise. For example, Narada defines it as sA kasmaicit paramapremarUpA - "It is of the nature of extreme love to some Being," and Sandilya, another authority on the subject, puts it as a geft-"It is extreme attachment to Isvara, the Lord." On reflection it will appear that there is not much difference between the definitions of the two schools.] http://www.Apni Hindi.com Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ VIVEKACHUDAMANI svAtmatattvAnusandhAnaM bhaktirityapare jaguH / uktasAdhanasaMpannastattvajijJAsura / tmanaH upasIdedguru prAzaM yasmAdbandhavimokSaNam // 32 // 32. Others maintain that the inquiry into the truth of one's own Self is devotion. The inquirer about the truth of the Atman who is possessed of the above-mentioned2 means of attainment should approach a wise preceptor, who confers emancipation from bondage. 13 [1Truth &c.-This is simply putting the statement of the previous Sloka in another way, for we are the Atman in reality, though ignorance has veiled the truth from us. 2Above-mentioned-i.e., in Slokas 19 and 31.] amarisqfanisamedi di aufaza: 1 brahmaNyuparataH zAnto nirindhana ivAnalaH / ahetukadayAsindhurbandhurAnamatAM satAm // 33 // 33.
